I have 4x4gb of the samsung green ddr3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096)
I have tried everything at this point but cannot get my bios and windows to show over 8gb. Installed Memory 8.00gb.
I've searched just about all I can search at this point without any resolve.
So far I have -
CMOS reset.
Tested each stick individually without problems.
Tested each DIMM slot without problems. (except for 1 weird problem when 12gb is installed)
Updated my BIOS to latest.
Re-seated my CPU twice. (each time Bios detected new CPU installed)
Checked for bent pins (none found).
Memtested all sticks.
XMP is enabled. Memory Mapping is enabled.
MSConfig > advanced > maximum memory unchecked.
Resource Monitor shows "physically installed 8192mb"
*DXDiag shows 8192mb physical memory available. Also shows 1gig pagefile in use with 7.7gb page file free even though my pagefile is set to 1024mb.*
What I have NOT DONE is messed with the voltage or frequencies or timing.
Cpu-Z shows 16gb. Memtest shows 4 sticks of 4gb also, all tested errorless.
*Here is the weird thing. I was doing some testing by process of elimination and.....When I have 1 stick in DIMM_A1, 1 stick in DIMM_B1, and 1 stick in DIMM_B2, CPU-Z shows 12gb, occupied in slot #1, slot #2, and slot #3. (Instead of displaying slot #2 empty as it physically is.)
It shows slot #4 being empty although it is occupied by 1 stick in DIMM_B2. When I move the stick from DIMM_B2 over to DIMM_A2, slot #4 in CPU-Z still shows empty as it should although I moved a stick over from B2 to A2.
So moving 1 stick from DIMM_B2 to A2 makes no recognizable difference to CPU-Z. All the while, the BIOS and Windows see only 8gb physically installed memory the whole time.*
What can I do at this point???? I am seriously stumped.
My buddy has the exact same configuration as me except he has a gtx 480 and a seasonic 650 psu but shows 16gb correctly.
My specs:
Asus P8Z68-V LX
i7-2600k
Samsung Low voltage 1600 DDR3 (4x4gb)
Samsung 830 SSD
Samsung HD103SJ F3
Galaxy GTX 560 ti
Corsair AX750
Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
Nothing is overclocked, everything is set to stock or AUTO.
I do alot of artwork and heavy editing with premiere, after effects, ps, and leave bridge and corel open mostly so I could really use the extra ram.
Update: Found a section in Bios that correctly sees all 4 sticks, yet still only registers 8gb.
